Carpet or laminate?
Hello,
We have a 1963 Clayton single-wide (16x76). We're thinking about ripping out the original carpet, and putting in either carpet or laminate. Which one will hold up better in the long run? Just in case it matters, there are the 2 of us, 5 kids, both grandmas, 3 dogs, and 11 cats living here. TIA! |

In your circumstances I'd go with a good quality laminate , then use area rugs to help warm up the feet . It's not the kids or grannies , it's the pets . No matter how good your housekeeping there's going to be accidednts and dander . JMNSHO -- Snag |
